Offensively red but a solid vehicle. Seriously, if you don't like red, this is not the car for you. It shines like a raspberry under direct sunlight. Nice speakers, excellent fuel economy, drives smooth with new tires. Regularly serviced. Has many more miles to go. Mechanically simple by German standards, has all the convenience of Bluetooth stereo, working A/C, heating etc. without the annoying safety features of newer vehicles. Never beeps at you! :) Recently had a new bumper put on as the last one was bumped (no frame damage). Couple dings but for its age it's in great condition!
